Do all of you enjoy the early game skirmish heavy, burst heavy, snowball heavy game state we are in?

I want to know if I'm the outlier on this one, because I absolutely despise how every champ nowdays has to be allowed to do something in early game fights and constantly trade and go for kills all the time.

It feels like burst and killing the enemy as fast as possible is the only thing that matters. I didnt do the exact math but like 80% of the items and runes in this game give damage. Even tank mythics dont make them tank more, they just give more damage.

Most super late game champs that needed like 25 mins to come online have been adjusted to scale much faster or simply deal more damage than they should be allowed in the early game. Nasus got stack buff, Veigar can stack every single time he hits champs with abilities on top of killing minions with Q. Vayne can now be a respectable early game threat if she goes PTA, Kai'sa can favorably trade in many matchups on top of scaling better. Even Kassadin, who all things considered is still shit early but becomes useful much much faster than before. Senna can play the support role and still be the main carry in the game despite not having access to CS simply because she scales just by existing and picking up souls.

Gold income is accesible to everybody now. A long time ago, the only sources of gold you had in the game were CS, kills and turrets. Now you have plates, herald which make plates even easier, bounty gold, objective bounty, runes that give extra gold or allow you to buy items without even having gold.

I dont have fun in this game, everything happens too fast, it's too damage and mobility oriented, there are fights happening all the time, falling behind is an extremely opressive situation. Falling behind doesnt feel like a snowball effect where enemies acquire progressively increasing agency over the game, it just feels like they start out with a small ball, kill you once, and suddenly the ball is the size of a house and you can't do much at that point.

I made this post because the only thing that keeps me coming is some of the champs in this game being really cool and interesting but then as soon as I play a couple games I log out extremely pissed and my day is ruined. So if the game is like this and there is no change despite Riot specifically saying they wanted to reduce the overall damage in the game by like 20-30% (dont remember the exact number nor do I have the source at hand but there is an official post by Riot claiming that, you can google it), then it just means most players enjoy the game the way it is right now. If that is so, what makes you like this era of League of Legends?
